Re: Thank you for your trust

[Olaf Dreßler]

Hallo Andreas,

herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deiner Wiederwahl.

Ich habe dich bei deinem Vortrag auf den CLT dieses Jahr kennengelernt. Ich war 
sehr beeindruckt und es hat mich einmal mehr bestätigt, das ich mich bei Debian 
- momentan als Anwender - sehr wohl fühle.

Ich bin zwar nur Anwender und Nutzer, aber wer weiß, wohin der Weg noch geht. 
Eine Mithilfe bei Debian schien mir so weit entfernt, da ich kein Entwickler 
und auch technisch nicht so tief bewandert bin.
Durch deinen Vortrag ist diese Entfernung geschrumpft, da du aufgezeigt hast, 
das jeder mithelfen kann (Dein Beispiel einer Hausfrau, die mal eben eine 
Viertelstunde Zeit hat).

Alles Gute und viel Erfolg und - vor Allem - Freude als DPL. 
Das gilt natürlich auch für dein privates und berufliches Leben.

Liebe herzliche Grüße
Olaf Dreßler

Maybe this can be added to the package smells?

Have a nice week-end!

The protocol, maybe. The URL scheme not at all.


recognized by Firefox, which does a search on Google instead.

So what? It is recognized by tnftp.

"ftp:" URLs in debian/copyright files

[Vincent Lefevre]

Hi,

I've noticed lots of "ftp:" URLs in debian/copyright files.
Isn't the "ftp:" URL scheme obsolete? At least it is no longer
recognized by Firefox, which does a search on Google instead.

Re: Associating .texi files to the media type text/prs.texi?

In /etc/mime.types, I try to remove unofficial types, and give preference
to the ones declared to the IANA for the association with file extensions.

In the case of the .texi extension it was recently declared by text/prs.texi
and if I follow my own policy, then I would need to de-associate it from
text/x-texinfo regardless the relevance of text/prs.texi.  Duplicate entries in
/etc/mime.types are not supported by some software including web browsers.

So what I did was to refrain from adding text/prs.texi for Trixie and waited
for application/texinfo to be registered.  Now I can update the package (maybe
not for Trixie) so that application/texinfo takes over text/x-texinfo.

I hope it explains better.

Thanks again!

Charles
